Every year, countless new businesses are never started. In some cases, would-be entrepreneurs don’t have the right skills or the confidence, and they can’t get the support they need. Some don’t have enough capital to get their ideas off the ground, while others have simply never imagined they could run their own business.
But there are many projects across the region using innovative ways to make enterprise happen — raising aspiration, providing finance and affordable workspace, and giving support and training for fledgling businesses.
Enterprise Road is a year-long project from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), bringing together entrepreneurs and support providers to share their success stories of overcoming barriers to enterprise. Through these discussions the project will identify the emerging lessons of good practice and form lasting networks for the sharing of ideas.
